Pros

Flexible Schedule Employee Benefits Paid Sick Time Paid Vacation 4/20 Friendly (depends on the department)

Cons

Poverty Wages Cheaps out on supplies Incredibly high expectations Terrible Equipment Maintenance Will continue to add more work to your job until you fail CBRE will agree with whatever their client wants, basically making life harder for anyone working that contract. Because bonuses are based on how much money is spent for each contract it's common to see equipment maintenance ignored until there's suddenly an emergency. They will continue to slowly add more and more to your workload until you fail.

Pros

Honestly? Not much. The vision insurance was decent, I guess. Truthfully though, there wasn't much.

Cons

Management's refusal to allow employees freedom. I routinely got praise from the client and hit the maximum score on my goals. If things weren't done "by the book", they were wrong. The health insurance was awful. Going to self-employment, one of the things that you hear is that you're going to pay a lot for health insurance. However, I'm actually paying LESS than when I worked for CBRE. When you work for CBRE, don't consider job security something that you're going to have. I saw two employees with 15+ years for the company get laid off, with zero severance and no option to transfer elsewhere, unless they wanted to uproot their families and move states for more work and a pay cut. This is the worst company that I've ever had the displeasure to work for. If you have literally any other option of employment, please consider doing that.
